Chapter 11- The Truth Comes Out
Katara continued to sneak Sam into the hideout while everyone was on missions as if nothing had changed. The only difference was that she started checking to see if they all really left. The only exception was Li because he already knew about Sam, so she saw no reason to worry about him.
Sam wanted more information about Li and any other subs in the pack. He knew that Katara had no clue about what he really did. She genuinely believed that he liked her and that was why he kept coming back in her life. He planned to keep her in the dark because if she ever found out what he really did she would stop helping him, which was something he didn't want to happen.
"Hey Katara, baby." Sam said charmingly.
"Hey Sam I've missed you this week." She replied.
"And I've missed you."
They continued on to her and Jet's room as usual. Sam planned to get more information out of her, but he had to keep this charade up in order to get the information that he wanted without her being suspicious. Later that night while holding Katara close he started his quest for information.
"So, how big is this pack of yours?" He asked casually.
"Oh, it's huge! Jet takes in just about anyone as long as they have nothing to do with the fire nation. He absolutely hates the fire nation."
"Lots of people hate the fire nation, that's understandable."
"Yeah, they have ruined lots of lives." Katara agreed.
"It sounds nice that he'll take anyone in, but when I see them leave I sense mostly doms. Why is that?"
"Because there really aren't that many subs in the pack."
"How come?"
"Mostly because Jet takes in people without anywhere else to go. Most subs are protected by their family and friends or taken by the fire nation before the pack can find them." Katara explained.
"Makes sense. This forest is packed with fire nation soldiers and any stray sub would be snatched up or killed before anyone could help them unless they have a dom with them that can protect them."
"Yeah. Most of the subs in the pack arrived with at least one dom." Katara said.
"Most?" Sam asked surprised.
"Well, all except one from what I've heard." Katara clarified.
"Who is this one?" Sam asked curiously.
"Li. I don't know exactly how true it is, but the story is Jet found him all on his own and saved him from fire nation soldiers about three years ago." Katara explained.
"What happened to his family or friends? Why would they just leave him on his own in a place like this?"
"I don't know. I've never heard anything about his life before he joined the pack."
"Don't you think that's a little suspicious?"
"Actually I do. Something's off about that, but it's like nobody knows anything about what his past is like, not even Jet."
"What do you know about him? Maybe I can help you solve this mystery."
"Well I know that he shifts into the legendary white wolf and is really strong for a sub. He's only just recently come into maturity, is much too trusting for his own good and seems to be good at heart. Nothing that could really help with this mystery. I don't think he's bad or anything, I just wish I knew what he was trying to hide in his past."
"What about that scar? That might be connected with what he's trying to hide."
"Jet said that he already had the scar when they met. It obviously had to be from someone with a fire element and he's both blind and deaf on the left side because of it." Katara explained.
"When he caught us together he said he was Jet's best friend. Maybe Jet knows more about him, but is just helping him keep it a secret." Sam suggested.
"Maybe, but I doubt it. I've pretty much got him turned against Li by now and I'm sure he would have told me when I asked."
"How come Jet doesn't make you go on missions with the rest of them?"
"Because he says it's 'too dangerous' for me and he doesn't want to risk me getting hurt, but I don't think it's fair because all the other subs get to go. Even the younger ones."
"It seems like he cares about you a lot, however I don't think you feel the same."
"You're right as usual, but I have to get him to mate with me that way I'll never need to worry about being kicked out."
"What will happen with me then?"
"I can still be with you. Jet just can't find out, at least before he's mated me. After that it will be too late to take it back and we won't have to worry anymore."
"I understand."
Sam continued talking to Katara and getting as much information as he could on the pack and its subs. He learned that most of the subs that had hit maturity in the pack were already mated and therefore no good to him. There were some subs that hadn't hit maturity yet as well. He decided that the only one in the pack that'd be worth anything was Li.
From what he had learned Li would be more difficult to get to than most of the subs he took. The scar he had would also be a put off because it would mean less profit, but the fact that he shifted into the legendary white wolf more than made up for it. This fact would make him more valuable than any of the other subs he had taken. The alpha would be a problem though.
The alpha kept all the subs pretty well protected and from what Katara had said he was also extremely powerful, not to mention his unique element of poison. He was definitely not someone he wanted to take on, especially since he would have a whole pack to back him up.
Sam decided he would just have to find a way around Jet and his pack. This would be one of the most difficult subs Sam has ever tried to kidnap, but he decided the profit he would get form Li would be more than worth his hard work.
Li had noticed Sam around the hideout more and had really tried to avoid him, but it was getting harder. There were a couple times he had Li cornered until Katara showed up. It seemed like every time Li sat out a mission Sam was there.
This time Li had asked Ace to stay behind with him which Ace agreed to easily. Li was hoping for Ace to catch Sam and to help him figure out what to do about this problem.
Katara had no idea that Ace would also be at the hideout and invited Sam over like usual. Li made sure that Ace was somewhere he wouldn't be seen if Sam showed up and found him. Just as Li suspected Sam showed up shortly after the others left and quickly found him.
"What do you want Sam?" Li demanded.
"Still trying to demand me I see."
"How about you leave and never return." Li said.
"I don't think so. Not until I get what I want that is." Sam said as he got closer.
"Stay away from me." Li growled.
"I don't think so." Sam said as he boxed Li in.
"What do you want with me?"
"You are very valuable and are worth a lot."
"You mean your sick business of selling subs to the fie nation."
"It isn't anything personal against subs, but they are worth a lot of money to the fire nation soldiers."
"I don't know how you could live with yourself." Li said in disgust.
"The money takes away any possible guilt and you will be sold at a very high price once I take you." Sam replied.
"Who the hell are you and what do you think you're doing with him." Ace growled angrily.
Sam turned to see who had said that and his eyes widened upon seeing Ace. Quickly Sam moved away from Li and hoped that this wasn't the alpha.
"I'm not doing anything with him. We were just talking." Sam answered cautiously.
"Who the hell are you and what are you doing in our hideout?" Ace growled threateningly.
"I was invited here by Katara and was just asking Li here if he new where she was."
"So you've been here before." Ace observed.
"What makes you say that?" Sam asked.
"The fact that you seem to know your way around and you seem to have met Li before."
"Well I'm a friend of Katara's so I may have been here once or twice before." Sam admitted.
"You don't belong here. There's something sinister about you and I will find out what. Now leave before I decide to snap your neck." Ace warned.
Sam quickly, but cautiously took this opportunity to flee before this dom decides to change his mind.
"Li, what is going on?" Ace asked.
"Well as you can see when you guys are on missions Katara invites that dom here." Li answered.
"Yeah, I got that much, but who is he and why is he really here?"
"Well, his name is Sam and according to Sokka he has some sort of sick business where he sells subs to the fire nation. Katara doesn't know about this and Sam says he can make high profit off of me." Li explained.
This news really angered Ace and he knew he had to put an end to this Sam before he could hurt Li.
"Have you told Jet about this?"
"Well, I've told him about Sam and the fact that Katara's cheating on him, but I haven't told him that Sam was targeting me. It won't matter if I do tell him cause he never believes me anymore."
"Love, you know that he does listen to you even though lately it doesn't seem like it. Right now he is just being stupid because he thinks he's in love."
"You don't think he loves Katara?" Li asked curiously.
"I know he doesn't love her."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because I've known Jet almost my whole life and I know who he does love, he just doesn't know it yet."
"If you say so."
"I do and I will see what Sokka knows then take him to tell Jet about this problem."
"Thanks Ace. I knew you'd help."
"I'll always help you when you need it, love."
Ace had talked to Sokka about Sam and learned more about that sick bastard. He came to the conclusion that if Katara wouldn't believe her brother or Aang then there was nothing they could do to convince her otherwise. She would have to see for herself the evil in Sam.
After Sokka had found out Sam was targeting Li he was furious. He wanted to go find Sam and kill him, but he knew he wasn't strong enough to do that on his own. That wouldn't stop him from threatening him though. After tracking Sam down he called our to him.
"Sam get over here!" Sokka shouted angrily.
"What do you want Sokka?" Sam asked.
"I want to kill you." Sokka growled.
"But we both know you can't do that." Sam taunted.
"I wouldn't be so sure. I have a whole pack to back me up while you have no one."
"That may be true, but if you were going to kill me it wouldn't be out here in the open."
"You're right. I didn't come to kill you, yet."
"Then what did you come for?"
"To warn you that you better stay away from Li. I better not hear about you targeting him again or I will find a way to kill you." Sokka threatened.
"I can't do that Sokka. You see he is a rare sub that can make me a lot of money. He's at that ripe age, yet still innocent. He's beautiful despite that ugly scar marring half of his face. Not to mention that he's the legendary white wolf. He's strong willed and feisty. Any fire nation soldier would pay a huge profit for him and they'll love breaking him in."
"I don't give a damn about your sick business and how much you can get for selling him. He's mine so stay away from him, or else."
"Or else what? What are you going to do about it?" Sam taunted.
"I'll expose you to the pack."
"How are you going to do that? What if they think you're lying?"
"Ace already knows about you and they'll believe him, not to mention Li. He's second in command of the pack and everyone loves him. They'll believe them and be happy to dispose of someone trying to hurt Li."
"We'll see."
After Sokka threatened Sam both him and Ace decided to go to Jet with the problem. They requested a private meeting with him.
"Why did you guys request this meeting?" Jet asked.
"We have a problem that you should know about." Ace answered.
"What problem?" Jet asked.
"Li told you a little about Sam, right."
"You mean that there is a dom sneaking in here and that Katara's cheating on me with him. What about it?"
"Li wasn't lying about Sam." Ace replied.
"What makes you say that?"
"The other day when I sat the mission out I saw him." Ace admitted.
"You're lying!" Jet accused.
"No, I'm not. Jet, you've been my friend since we were eight. I wouldn't say something to purposely hurt you no matter how much of a jerk you are. I wouldn't be telling you this unless it was important and Sokka knows about Sam too."
"It's true Jet, I've known Sam for a while and he's bad news." Sokka replied.
"But why would she cheat on me?" Jet asked.
"I don't know, but that's not the real problem here." Ace added.
"You mean Katara really helps this bastard sell subs to the fire nation?" Jet asked angrily.
"She does, but not intentionally." Sokka answered.
"How can she not intentionally help him? She's either helping him or she's not." Jet said angrily.
"Well she is, but she doesn't really know that she is. He uses her to get information on subs that he can kidnap and sell. She gives him the information, but she doesn't know what he's doing." Sokka explained.
"Why haven't you told her?" Jet demanded. "
"I have, but she thinks I'm lying because I don't like him and I want her to stay away from him."
"But you're her brother! She should know that you're just trying to protect her." Jet argued.
It's kind of like when Li tells you something and you don't believe him, especially when it comes to Katara. You know that he's just trying to help you, but you still don't believe him." Sokka explained.
Jet just glared at Sokka for pointing this out before changing the subject.
"So who is this guy after then?" Jet asked.
"Li." Both Ace and Sokka answered.
"He wants Li mostly because he's the legendary white wolf. He says he can get a big profit from him." Sokka added.
"I'll look into it." Jet said.
"What does that mean?" Sokka asked.
"I'll investigate the problem and handle it." Jet answered.
"What if he strikes while your 'investigating'? Sokka asked agitated.
"I won't let anything happen to Li." Jet assured before leaving.
"Sokka, you know if you can trust anyone to protect Li it's Jet." Ace assured.
"What do you mean?" Sokka asked.
"He's been protecting him since they met. Even though it doesn't seem like it anymore those two are have an unbreakable bond and Jet would never let anything happen to him. Li is special to Jet." Ace explained.
"Well, he could have fooled me. He is so mean to Li most of the time and I've heard of their legendary bond, but I find it hard to believe."
"Yeah, well you weren't there all those years to see it first hand like the rest of us."
"I don't know maybe they used to have a strong bond, but I think that Katara broke that bond."
"She didn't. Even though it seems like it right now."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because I've known Jet my whole life and Li is the only one that gets to him like that. Right now it doesn't seem like it because Jet thinks he's in love with your sister, but deep down Li is still the one he really loves. I think that they are true mates, which is why if Jet ever wakes up and realizes it neither of us would really ever have a chance with Li."
"What makes you say they are true mates?"
"Their bond. Like I said they have an unbreakable bond and if you'd seen it you would agree that they are true mates."
"I don' t know. I still don't trust Jet to protect Li though."
"I do. Has Li ever told you how when he first came I kept trying to kill him?"
"No! You tried to kill him?"
"Yeah, when Jet first brought him. I was blinded by the fact that he was the legendary white wolf. You see my family and my village were killed by the legendary white wolf and I believed them all to be evil kind of like Jet thinks all the fire nation is evil. Jet tried to convince me otherwise and kept us separated, but I was determined to kill him. I had a chance, but he ended up saving my life, which allowed me to see the good in him. I vowed to protect him instead after that, but my point was even though Jet and I were best friends and had known each other since we were kids if it had come down to it he would have killed me to protect Li. He would still kill me now if I was a threat to Li, so trust me when I say if you can trust anyone to protect Li then it's Jet."
The next time there was a mission Jet put Ace in charge of it and stayed back to see what was really going on. He didn't let anyone else know what was going on and made sure Katara thought he was going on the mission. He kept hidden near the entrance so he could see when Sam came in. Not too long after everyone else left Sam snuck in like usual and Katara came to meet him.
"Hey, Sam." Katara greeted.
"Hey, baby." Sam greeted back before kissing her.
"I've missed you."
"Me too."
"How come you didn't come last time?" She asked.
"I did, but there was another dom here who caught me so I had to escape."
"What happened?"
"Nothing much. I said we were friends and when he said to scram I was gone."
"I'm sorry. I really didn't know anyone had stayed behind besides Li."
"Don't worry about it. Let's just be more careful from now on."
"Ok."
Jet had seen and heard the whole thing which confirmed that Katara was cheating on him. This made him furious at both Katara and Sam. It also made him feel really guilty for not believing Li and all the things he warned him about. Katara had started leading Sam towards her and Jet's room as usual.
"Katara what the hell do you think you're doing?" Jet confronted furiously.
"Jet?!" She exclaimed in surprise.
"Surprised to see me?"
"I-I thought you were on a mission. Are you guys back already?"
"Well, I decided to stay back and surprise you and here I find you cheating on me."
"I'm not cheating." She denied.
"Don't lie to me, it's too late." He growled.
While they were arguing Sam took this opportunity to sneak away. He knew that this was going to be his only chance to get Li, but he would have to work quickly.
"Katara I just want to know why you would do this to me. What have I done to deserve this betrayal from you? I thought you loved me."
"I didn't do this to hurt you, but I really like Sam."
"And you couldn't have just told me that you didn't wanna be with me?"
"No, I couldn't. I needed you to love me and mate me."
"Why would you want to mate with me if you don't love me?"
"Because I'm safe in your pack and if I'm your mate then you can't kick me out no matter how I mess up." She explained.
"Did you ever even like me? And what do you mean? I wouldn't have kicked you out for messing up and you don't need to be my mate to ensure a place in my pack."
"I did in the beginning. And yes I do. You might have helped me at first because you felt sorry for me or you liked me, but after a while I would do something wrong and you'd kick me out. I couldn't let that happen."
"That's not true. I wouldn't have turned on you like that because you made a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes."
"How can I believe you wouldn't abandon me when my own tribe did. I accidentally brought the fire nation to the tribe and they decided to kick me out and I was only like eleven at the time. They were my own family, so how can I trust you not to do the same?"
"Because I'm not like that. I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'd never abandon anyone in my pack like that."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Then what about Li?"
"I never abandoned him."
"Not yet, but look at how fast you turned on him after I came. What would have happened if I coerced you into getting rid of him for good?"
Meanwhile Sam had Li in his room while those two were distracted. He planned on getting Li and getting out as quickly as possible.
"Hey, Li." He said as he entered the room.
"What do you want? Shouldn't you be with Katara right now?" Li growled.
"Well she seems to be a little distracted at the moment. You're the one I really want anyways."
"What do you mean? How is she distracted?"
"It doesn't matter. What does is that today's the last day that I'll be coming here."
"What's that mean?" Li asked panicked.
"Oh, I think you know what that means." Sam said sinisterly.
Sam took this opportunity to come at Li on his blind side and grab him. Li fought back and tried hitting at Sam, but it was difficult when Sam was attacking his weak side. Sam was able to subdue Li long enough to attach him with special fire nation handcuffs.
Li panicked once he felt the handcuffs Sam put on him. He decided that he would shift into his wolf to break them. He started concentrating on becoming the wolf that was inside, but nothing was happening. It felt as if the wolf was somehow repressed and something told him it was because of the cuffs.
"What did you do? Why can't I shift?" Li growled.
"It's because these handcuffs are specially designed to prevent the shift. It comes in handy for feisty little subs like you. It also weakens the person as well." Sam explained smugly.
"Let me go!" Li demanded.
"No can do. You are worth too much and after all this trouble I'm going to enjoy every penny."
Li couldn't shift or fight back against Sam and he felt more vulnerable than he ever had. He still struggled against the cuffs as much as he could, but knew it was pointless. The only thing he could do was try to contact Jet and hope if he listened that he could get here in time.
'Jet, please listen to me.'
'What is it Li?' He heard Jet frantically reply.
'I don't know where you are or if you can even get here in time, but could you please try to get back.'
'Li what's going on?'
'Sam is trying to kidnap me and I need your help.'
'I'm on my way!'
"Katara this is going to have to wait." Jet said urgently.
"Why?"
"Li needs me." Jet answered before sprinting out in search of Li.
Jet used their connection in order to pinpoint exactly where to find him. Once he got to where Li's room was what he saw made him see red. He saw Li in cuffs being dragged out by a dom he recognized as Sam. Katara had followed him and was bewildered by this sight.
"What the hell do you think you are doing to him?" Jet growled angrily.
Sam turned around in shock to see both Jet and Katara standing there. He didn't know what to say to get out of this one, so he'd have to think fast.
"Where were you taking him Sam?" Katara asked.
"I... I. I think he's a fire nation spy." Sam said quickly.
"Why would you think that?" Katara asked.
"Remember when you said that you thought it was suspicious that nobody knows about his past?"
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with this?"
"I think that that's what he's hiding. He's probably from the fire nation and Li's probably not even his real name." Sam accused.
"Maybe, but I don't think so." Katara said.
"Well I do. It would explain a lot of things about him."
"You're right it would explain a lot, but it just doesn't add up."
"Don't tell me you believe him." Jet growled.
"What do you mean?"
"He's just saying that to cover up what he's really doing."
"And what exactly would that be?"
"That he's trying to kidnap Li so he can sell him to the fire nation for a huge profit."
"Did Sokka tell you that? Sokka made all that up because he doesn't like Sam and he wants me to stay away from him." Katara argued.
"Katara he isn't lying. Sam really does do that and he is trying to sell me to the fire nation. He told me himself that was what he plans." Li said.
"Like I'd believe you For all I know you could be a fire nation spy."
"You really think that I'd do that?" Li asked.
"Do you really think that I'd allow the fire nation to be a part of my pack, let alone be second in command of it?" Jet asked skeptically.
"No, but he could have tricked you."
"Do you really believe Li's capable of deceiving me for three years? I rescued him from the fire nation when we met. I've also saved him from the fire nation many times after that too. He saved you from the fire nation when we met you. He and I were so close we knew what the other was thinking. Do you really think he could fake all of that?" Jet said angrily.
"No, but can you honestly tell me you know where he comes from? What happened to his family and friends? Where he got that scar? Can you tell me anything from his past before he met you three years ago?"
"How can he tell you any of that stuff when I can't even tell you any of it?" Li asked.
"What do you mean by that?" She asked.
"Not that it's any of your business, but Li doesn't remember anything from his past. He has amnesia. The only thing he remembers is waking up by himself on the beach. He went into the forest and was attacked by the fire nation. He already had the scar, but it was made not too long before that." Jet explained.
"What about his name? If he doesn't remember anything then how does he remember his name?"
"Because Li isn't my real name. When Jet asked me what my name was I told him that I didn't know. Jet gave me the name Li." Li answered.
"How can you forget everything?" Katara asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I do know that Sam was just trying to distract you."
"You guys are wrong. Sam isn't like that."
"He was just using you for information." Jet said.
"He wouldn't do that. He loves me."
"No he doesn't. I loved you, but that wasn't good enough for you."
"He wouldn't do that." She insisted.
"If he wouldn't then he'll leave now without Li." Jet replied.
"Yeah, now that he knows Li isn't fire nation he has no reason to take him."
"Well you heard her Sam. Let Li go and leave." Jet ordered.
"No way! This one is worth more than all the others combined and I'm not leaving without him. I'll kill you if I have to." Sam threatened.
"What are you talking about Sam?" Katara asked in horror.
"You were never supposed to find out, but your brother was right about me all along. I do sell subs to the fire nation and this one is going to make me so rich." Sam admitted.
"So you mean all this time you've been using me to help you?!" Katara asked in horror.
"Yeah, it was the easiest way to get information."
"Why didn't you just sell me then?"
" Because you wouldn't be worth anything. You're what they consider damaged goods. They only want fresh meat. Subs like Li who've never been touched before." Sam explained.
"You're sick! I can't believe I ever liked you!" Katara shouted.
Jet stepped towards Sam threateningly.
"Sam you need to let Li go because I'm not letting you take him." Jet warned.
"I already told you that I'm not willing to do that and that I'll kill you if I have to." Sam replied.
"You don't want to fight me Sam." Jet warned.
"I don't want to, but I will. You don't look so tough."
"Fine, it's you're death."
Both Sam and Jet shifted into their animal forms. Sam became a leopard while Jet became a large black wolf. Despite Sam being a leopard Jet was still much larger than Sam. They both circled each other threateningly before Sam lunged.
Sam tried using his large paws to scratch Jet's face, but Jet deflected by biting said paw. Sam then grabbed Jet's neck with his teeth and tried to snap it, but Jet easily kicked Sam off of him.
They continued fighting viciously in this life or death match. Sam kept trying to pull dirty tricks in order to get the upper hand, but was unable to because Jet was quick to counter. Meanwhile Katara cowered in the corner.
After a while Jet was able to knock Sam down and he was too tired to get back up. He was also badly injured and knew this was the end for him.
"Is that all you got? For some reason I thought you'd be more of a challenge." Jet taunted.
"No one told me that you were an alpha dom. If I had known that I would've ran for the hills."
"Well, you never asked me. Now, any last words?"
"No."
"Jet, what are you doing? Don't kill him!" Li pleaded.
"I'm sorry Li, but I have to."
"No you don't. You're better than that."
Jet ignored Li and easily snapped Sam's neck. Even though he didn't deserve it Jet made his death as painless and quick as possible for Li's sake. He knew Li hated it when he killed. Li believed there was always a better way. Then he went over to Li and easily snapped the handcuffs.
"Why'd you have to kill him Jet?"
"I had to."
"Why?"
"To protect you. If I let him live he might have come back for you when I wasn't here to protect you and I couldn't take that chance."
"What do you even care if he came after me? You hate me now."
"I don't hate you Li. I could never hate you. I'm sorry for everything. I should have believed you and I should never have pushed you away. The truth is I thought you hated me. When I found out this creep was targeting you it really scared me. I thought I might really lose you this time."
"You don't hate me?"
"No. I could never hate you and I'm so sorry. I won't let anything get between us again."
"I never hated you. What made you think that?"
"Katara."
"Of course she did. I still don't think killing him was the right thing to do though."
"I know and I'm sorry, but at least he can't hurt anymore subs."
Li used his psychic element to dispose of Sam's body and he and Jet cleaned the mess that was caused during the fight. They decided to try and mend their relationship, but knew it would be a slow and long road. Afterwards Jet went to find Katara because they needed to talk.
"Katara we need to talk." Jet said seriously.
"I know. I'm sorry for tricking you and I'll leave first thing in the morning."
"You don't have to leave. For all the trouble you caused I should kick you out, but I won't."
"You mean I don't have to leave?"
"No."
"Then what did you want to talk about?"
"First of all you need to start trusting Sokka. He only warns you about something because he cares. You need to start trusting the rest of the pack as well. The whole pack will fall apart without trust that is something I've learned from this whole experience."
"You're right I should have trusted Sokka."
"Also, you are never to bring anyone in this hideout without my permission. I have to meet them first."
"I understand."
"Lastly I wanted to tell you that you need to move rooms and that it's over between us."
"That's it? You're not going to banish me or anything?"
"You will have some serious clean up duty for a while, but other than that no."
"Maybe I was wrong about you." Katara admitted.

Anyways I hope everyone enjoys and don't forget to review.
